Germany’s largest digital media outlet, T‑Online, has spotlighted Turkey’s cutting-edge kamikaze drone TALAY, emphasizing its potential to radically transform conflict scenarios at sea.

Tactical Features of TALAY

• Flies just 30 cm above the water surface

• Virtually invisible to radar systems

• Reaches speeds of up to 200 km/h

• Has an operational range of 300 km

• Weighs 60 kg, carrying 30 kg of explosives

Experts suggest that TALAY’s combination of low altitude, high precision, and sudden strike capability could establish a new standard in countering surface threats.

T‑Online: “With this system, Turkey could fundamentally alter the strategic nature of naval warfare.”
